What makes our course different?
Unlike other courses, we work around your busy life, so you can complete modules at your own pace. We provide you with text books, and all the printed materials you need. No need for extra print carteidges! We also provide you with a large series of materials, tools and equipment and guide you through how these can be used. This will also allow you to use these resoueces and equipment in your teacher training year.
Our Mission
The course strives to give you a viewpoint on Design & Technology so that you have a bank of ‘go to’ resources, knowledge and understanding that will support you in your ITT year.
